Eric Siu and a co-host argue AI will create more jobs than it destroys, pointing to marketing roles and gig work like Uber driving as examples of how workers shift to better positions rather than disappear.

At least my stance on this is that AI's actually going to create more jobs long-term than, you know, destroy jobs.
We see it in marketing too. We believe AI is actually going to create more jobs than it displaces. It doesn't mean AI won't get rid of jobs, but it'll create new jobs, new categories. And we think the new categories and the new jobs it creates outweighs the jobs that it displaces, at least in marketing.
Here's how I see it, Neil. I think, you know, if we go back 100 years, right? Or 150 years, you and I might be farmers, right? Because that was the most common job, and we'd probably fail at that, right? If I'll speak for myself, I don't think I'll speak for you too. I don't think you'd be a good farmer either. But like my my point is you have what it was like ninety-two or ninety-eight percent of the population were farmers, and so these are jobs nobody wanted to do. Okay, people are like oh what's gonna happen to all like the Uber drivers, for example, the taxi drivers? I think what's gonna happen is one I don't really think they really enjoy their jobs per se, and and that's just my my hunch. My hunch is they're gonna be able to do something that they really want to do and be able to take care of their their friends and family a lot better. That's what I think.
